About TV Bloat
How a page gets published
| Step | What it means |
|---|---|
| Baseline | Boot time, memory after boot and the list of preinstalled packages are written down before any change |
| One change | A single package or setting per step, so a result can be attributed |
| Measure | The same numbers are taken again; the page states device, firmware and date |
| Rollback | Every step has the command or setting that reverses it |
What we will not do
We will not publish a step we have not run on the device we describe, we will not copy a forum post and present it as a test, and we will not link to modified firmware, cracked apps or anything that changes licensing. Device modifications carry real risk: if a page is not tested for your model, treat it as untested rather than “probably fine”.
Report a result that no longer works
Firmware updates change behaviour. If a step on this site stops working, the correction channel will be published here and in the footer once the site goes live; until then, treat every page as dated to the day it was written.
Questions people actually ask
Which device do you test on?
The device and firmware are stated on each page. A result from one model is not a promise for another; that is why the device line exists.
Do you accept sponsored placements?
No. There is no sponsored content and no paid ranking.
Are you affiliated with Google or Amazon?
No. Product names are used only to describe the devices.
